The year-end holiday is a much-awaited moment for everyone, especially urban dwellers in cities like Jakarta who yearn for new experiences to celebrate the new year with friends, relatives, or family. Therefore, various tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels offer a variety of events and activities to celebrate the new year, one of which is the Aston Priority Simatupang Hotel.
This 4-star hotel in South Jakarta presents an end-of-year holiday program titled "Urban Holiday" with the following series of events:
- Urban Street Food Fest
The Urban Street Food Fest is a culinary concept at Aston Priority Simatupang Hotel that features local and international traditional dishes presented in a practical street food style. Interestingly, these street food menus are served in an elegant form, befitting a star-rated hotel. Visitors don't have to pay an expensive buffet price; they can simply purchase each menu starting from Rp 50,000 net per menu, and payment can be made via QRIS at each stall.
The menus offered are favorite foods and drinks of urbanites, such as Sushi on box, beef hamburg rice bowl, chicken katsu rice bowl, tuna and corn baked rice, salmon baked rice, baby back ribs, American cheese burger, satay, various fried foods, ice cream creations, snacks and toppings, butterscotch coffee, rose coffee, Irish coffee, sea salt caramel coffee, various mocktail mixes, and many others.
The Urban Street Food Fest at Aston Priority Simatupang will be open on December 31, 2024, from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM, accompanied by live music performances. Visitors are also welcome to sing or karaoke if they wish to perform in public.
- Storytelling by Kak Maulana
The series of urban holiday events doesn't end with the Urban Street Food Fest on New Year's Eve. Aston Priority Simatupang Hotel also organizes an interactive storytelling and magic show with Kak Maulana at the pool area the following day, Wednesday, January 1, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, for guests who bring their families and children.
The material presented includes educational content from fables, presented using cute and adorable animal puppets for children.
"We designed this series of Urban Holiday events specifically for Jakarta residents and those in the surrounding areas who are looking for a place to celebrate the new year within the city so they don't have to get stuck in traffic outside the city. Since many people have to go back to work or resume their normal activities the day after, it's more efficient to find a place that's not far from home and still offers a pleasant holiday experience," commented Andi Gevika Rizki, General Manager of Aston Priority Simatupang.
"Unlike our previous New Year's Eve concepts or what other hotels do by organizing buffets, this time Aston Priority Simatupang presents a street food concept at a fairly affordable price of Rp 50,000 per menu. For guests who reserve the Urban Holiday room package, they will receive a voucher worth Rp 500,000 that can be exchanged for menus available at the Urban Street Food Fest stalls," added Andi Gevika Rizki, General Manager of Aston Priority Simatupang.
